Project’s Completion Gives Neutron Science Community Reason to SING

Five of the world’s most advanced instruments for neutron scattering research are serving the neutron science community following the completion of the $68.5 million SING project at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Spallation Neutron Source...

Neutron Scattering Experiments Help Explain Dynamics Behind Best Thermoelectric Materials

Neutron analysis of the atomic dynamics behind thermal conductivity is helping scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory gain a deeper understanding of how thermoelectric materials work. The analysis could spur the development...

Study of Bound Protons And Neutrons Reveals Information About the Internal Structure of Free Neutrons

A study of bound protons and neutrons conducted at the Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has allowed scientists, for the first time, to extract information through experimentation about the internal structure...

Mauritian Government Urges Institutions Using Radiation to Register

All private and state institutions in Mauritius that are using radiation materials will have to inscribe the name of their institutions in a register in the future. Marcel Olitte, Responsible Officer for the Radiation Protection Authority, indicated here...

Europe to Build State of the Art Laboratory to Study How Stars Evolve And Elements are Formed in Cosmos

One of the great ongoing challenges of astrophysics, to find out how stars evolve and die, is to be tackled in an ambitious European research program. This will involve studying in the laboratory over 25 critical nuclear reactions using low-energy stable...
